Edgar Wright's Ant-Man movie is the closest it has ever been

We have been hearing rumblings about an Ant-Man movie for the last few years, it just seems to keep getting pushed out further and further. But, with the impending success of THE AVENGERS, Marvel will be on the lookout for other heroes to add to the squad.

During a recent interview, Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige had this to say about the project.

It’s somewhere. I’ll just say it’s closer than it’s ever been in its long maybe eight year history, and I usually e-mail Edgar every two or three days and over those eight years its got further away and closer… we are now closer than we’ve ever been. So I hope it will come together shortly.

While that is far from a greenlight for the film, it is the closest we have to it. Edgar would definitely take a unique approach to a superhero film but also show the genre the respect it deserves.

personally, i like the Ultimates version of Pym, pill-popping, wife beating megalomaniac. For that, i wouldnt cast Pegg or Fillion. I dont believe Disney will touch that with a ten foot pole, but it would be interesting. and the scene in the comics when Cap finds out he's a wifebeater and tells him to "step outside" is one of the best.

Funny thing is 8 years ago some people would have said Simon Pegg as a superhero would be a joke. But after Hot Fuzz, Star Trek and Ghost Protocol I'd say the dude's more than ready for a legit starring action role.

Alan Tudyk. If it's going to be the action/comedy that it's been rumored (which I think is a mistake), Alan Tudyk would be the right one to star in it. Fillion's great and all, but he doesn't play nerdy like Tudyk does, and Pegg is just too...doughy to play a superhero (outside of The Boys).

You guys ever see 'Firefly'? Yes, Fillion, for whatever reason, has not attracted great roles, but he certainly has the chops (go watch 'Waitress' if you want to see something you wouldn't expect from him). As for this specific role, he'd be perfect for Hank Pym.
